If you center the ring between the windage screws, they usually do.

I don’t understand why people are suggesting the OP optically zeroes the scope? He is out of windage so I fail to see how that could possibly help.
If he has the adjustable bases as shown then simply adjust those. He may need a scope lapping bar or maybe a piece of doweling(I would prefer the metal bar) to get the rings aligned.

Two reasons, one being that it's much easier to do fine tuning with the scope adjustments rather than the windage screws in the base. And since he has the scope adjusted all the way to one limit, that isn't practical. Secondly, it isn't a good idea to use a scope with the adjustment all the way to one limit. So the logical solution is to optically center the scope, use the windage screws to do a rough zero , and then use the scope adjustments to fine tune the zero.

I doubt everyone can adjust open sights either lol. I've had and still have these style ring/bases. I always set them up with the lapping rod. I steer clear of them now for the most part ,mainly because they add unnecessary weight.
Ditto- I swear by the Leupold, Redfield, Millet style. So easy to correct a multitude of errors!
